The seccomp benchmark runs five scenarios, one calibration run with no seccomp filters enabled then four further runs each adding a filter. The calibration run times itself for 15s and then each additional run executes for the same number of times. Currently the seccomp tests, including the benchmark, run with an extended 120s timeout but this is not sufficient to robustly run the tests on a lot of platforms. Sample timings from some recent runs: Platform Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 Run 4 --------- ----- ----- ----- ----- PowerEdge R200 16.6s 16.6s 31.6s 37.4s BBB (arm) 20.4s 20.4s 54.5s Synquacer (arm64) 20.7s 23.7s 40.3s The x86 runs from the PowerEdge are quite marginal and routinely fail, for the successful run reported here the timed portions of the run are at 117.2s leaving less than 3s of margin which is frequently breached. The added overhead of adding filters on the other platforms is such that there is no prospect of their runs fitting into the 120s timeout, especially on 32 bit arm where there is no BPF JIT. While we could lower the time we calibrate for I'm also already seeing the currently completing runs reporting issues with the per filter overheads not matching expectations: Let's instead raise the timeout to 180s which is only a 50% increase on the current timeout which is itself not *too* large given that there's only two tests in this suite.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
